Jamie Lee Curtis sends fans wild with ‘hot' new look
Jamie Lee Curtis has shocked fans with a low-cut look, as many claim they didn't realise she was a 'baddie'. The 66-year-old actress has been promoting her new movie Freakier Friday with Lindsay Lohan and appeared in a recent video from Disney, encouraging fans to watch the movie. In the TikTok video, the Hollywood star wore a cross-cut denim dress, which sat off her shoulder and showed off her ample assets. For younger fans, this was a surprising look from the actress, with many agreeing they had no idea that the star was so, ahem, busty. 'Where did THOSE come from,' said the top comment on the post from the drink Peach Four Loko. 'Have those always been there??,' asked okaymaddiee_. 'I was not familiar with your game before Jamie Lee Curtis,' said theaaronpaul. @disneystudios A special message from Jamie Lee Curtis 💜💚 Experience Freakier Friday now playing in theaters.

The film comes as the actress has confessed that she is slowly retiring from Hollywood. 'I have been self-retiring for 30 years,' she told The Guardian.

Gambler (21) after ‘quick buck' let criminals use back account to launder €35k
Jamie Lee told gardai that an unnamed friend contacted him over Snapchat, offering him a chance to make money A young gambler, who was after a 'quick buck' and let 'smishing' fraudsters use his bank account to launder €35,000 in stolen funds, has been remanded on bail pending sentence. Jamie Lee, 21, of Meadow View, Clonard, Co Meath, pleaded guilty at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court to possessing proceeds of criminal conduct in January 2024. Detective Garda Kevin Lennon told Judge Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin yesterday that a woman reported her son had given her bank details and code in reply to a text pretending to be from a telecom provider. It led to her account being 'hacked', and €35,300 was stolen in 17 transfers, with the sums ranging from €200 to €3,700, to Lee's account. She discovered this when she attempted to withdraw money from the Bank of Ireland, but her request was declined, and her account was frozen. She then alerted gardaí in Mullingar. Lee later told Detective Garda Lennon that an unnamed friend contacted him over Snapchat, offering him a chance to make money by using his account. He then met three males he did not know and gave them his bank details. John Hayden SC, defending, said that his client, who works in a warehouse for a major retailer, had been cooperative. Detective Garda Lennon agreed, adding the accused had been naive at the time and after a quick buck. He also accepted that Lee, who had no previous convictions, was 'in the throes of a gambling addiction', did not receive any payment and did not try to give gardaí the runaround. Mr Hayden outlined how his client started gambling after a relationship breakup. However, he was soon losing his wages in one night, and he also crashed his mother's car, and he was put on antidepressants. He also expressed remorse in the court case. The court was furnished with a letter from him and his mother, and a report from his addiction counsellor and his GP. Mr Hayden said people behind smishing scams prey on people like his client. With the help of his family, he had brought €5,000 to court, and the judge noted that the bank had reimbursed the victim. She stated that this was a serious offence and noted that he was asked to participate in the fraud and met three people he did not know, expecting to make a profit. However, she took into account how gambling had become such a problem and remarked that it had become easy to gamble, but the consequences were serious. She held that the offence warranted a one-year sentence but noted the guilty plea, mitigation and that he had been a pro-social member of society. She stated that she would consider sparing him a conviction if he came up with an additional €3,000 on his own; otherwise, he would receive a conviction and 140 hours of community service. The case resumes in November.

Innovation still takes centre stage in an unpredictable economy
Soaring cocoa prices have forced Isabelle Lam to rethink her business. The co-founder of Remix Snacks, known for its bean-based chocolate bark, saw costs spike by 50 per cent last year – a jolt that prompted her to examine the key ingredient that helped launch the brand in 2018. 'It forced us to look back instead of looking ahead at how we can expand,' says Ms. Lam, a registered dietitian who founded the company in Montreal. Considerations included the type of chocolate she uses and how she sources her ingredients. 'It's not so much impact innovation but asking how we can streamline things to make (the company) the most efficient it can be.' Remix's bean bark is a high-protein, high-fibre snack made with upcycled imperfect fruit, black beans and 70-per-cent dark chocolate – a concept Ms. Lam and co-founder Jamie Lee developed while studying nutrition at McGill University. Combining beans and chocolate into a nutritious snack helped the pair break into a highly competitive market. When cocoa prices more than doubled in 2024, and inflation changed how consumers spent their money, Ms. Lam had to adapt. Business leaders across sectors increasingly view innovation not only as a response to short-term shocks, but as a long-term strategy for staying competitive in a rapidly changing world. Research by McKinsey & Co. has identified the ability to innovate as one of the top three sources of competitive advantage across industries. Ms. Lam keeps innovation front and centre by staying aligned with the mission that inspired Remix Snacks in the first place: promoting nutrition and reducing food waste. In October, 2024, she made the difficult decision to raise prices, and to look for other ways to innovate. 'There's a reason why so many people are trying to get into the industry,' Ms. Lam says. 'We're not happy with where things are, and there's so much room for growth. It's important to keep that in the forefront.' That mindset is echoed in other sectors, where companies are similarly reassessing how they work. 'A vision is what motivates people across the board,' says Peter Josty, executive director of the Centre for Innovation Studies (THECIS), a Calgary-based non-profit that researches innovation. 'Building a culture that motivates people and responds well to failure is an essential part of innovation.' Building that culture isn't always easy, especially in uncertain times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses were focused solely on survival. According to Statistics Canada, Canada's innovation rate – the proportion of businesses that introduced product or business process innovations – dropped nearly eight percentage points between 2020 and 2022, when compared with the 2017-2019 period. Some leaders see volatility as the best time to think differently. Margot Sunter is the chief innovation officer at GGFL, an Ottawa-based accounting and advisory firm. Her role involves creating an environment where people are willing to experiment. She says uncertainty is exactly the time when business leaders should be thinking about innovation. 'To be truly innovative, there has to be a level of discomfort and risk-taking,' Ms. Sunter says. 'We learn more from making mistakes than we do from getting it right.' While accounting is typically seen as a risk-averse industry, Ms. Sunter says firms such as hers must adapt to two converging pressures: a shortage of chartered professional accountants (CPAs) and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), which is reshaping client expectations. That requires a rethink of what tasks CPAs need to perform – and what can be done by others. 'We have a really busy firm, and our accountants don't have time to drive those conversations forward,' she says. The firm created her role to make sure someone is dedicating time to keeping pace with change. 'For me, every change is an opportunity for innovation.' For example, when an employee leaves, stop to ask if you really need someone in that role or if there is a different way to do the work. 'We're not doing earth-shattering things, but we're really understanding what each person on the team brings and what our clients care about,' Ms. Sunter says. 'Change happens in lots of small ways, and it builds momentum.' Not all innovation needs to be groundbreaking. THECIS's Mr. Josty calls innovation a spectrum, with incremental changes on one end and general-purpose technologies, such as steam power and electricity, on the other. Companies can benefit at any point along that spectrum. But as the World Economic Forum warns that AI breakthroughs are ushering in a 'fourth industrial revolution,' Mr. Josty says companies need to adapt and innovate to compete. 'Change is the new constant,' says GGFL's Ms. Sunter. 'We can be part of it and help decide where to go.'

Pensioner dad of executed man left bloodied after attack by hoods from rival clan
THE pensioner dad of an executed man was left bloodied after he was attacked by hoods from a rival clan. Joe Lee, 68, was bottled by one thug while a knife maniac tried to stab him in the unprovoked attack. 3 3 His son Jamie Lee, 23, was gunned down in Castlemilk, Glasgow, in 2017 by Jordan Owens, 31, amid a violent feud between two factions. Joe was also hit twice by bullets in that attack — with the third bullet killing his lad. Now fears of tensions exploding again have been heightened after Wednesday night's horror in nearby Rutherglen. One local said: 'It's been quiet for a while, but now everyone is worried it's all going to kick off. 'Attacking a vulnerable man is the lowest of the low, but that's what these folk are, rats. 'Revenge is in the air and a tit-for-tat feud could easily explode. "Neither side will speak to the police. They will take care of things themselves.' Organised crime member Owens fled the scene of Jamie's assassination in a playpark and was at large for two years before being caught in Lisbon, Portugal. He is serving at least 23 years in jail. Joe declined to comment. Police Scotland confirmed it 'received a report of an assault on a 68-year-old man in Rutherglen'.
